His plan for the development of a humanoid and metal robot – capable of performing boring, repetitive or dangerous tasks – presented yesterday (19/8) the founder and head of Tesla Elon Musk. According to the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, it is based on the same technology that will be used in the semi-autonomous electric cars of its company.
The eccentric billionaire promised that the original of what he christened Tesla Bot will be unveiled next year. He will have five fingers on his hands and an androgynous, black and white presentation.
Elon Musk discounted how The robot will have a “profound impact” on the US and global economies, as it could potentially end labor shortages and reduce wage costs.. He added that he considers it important that this robot is not “too expensive”, without becoming more specific.
For him, “certainly” Tesla is “the most important robotics company in the world”, as its cars are already robots with wheels, they are “conscious” when moving on the streets, as they have software that allows them to understand their environment. and move “autonomously”, without driver intervention.
“It makes sense, therefore, to have a Tesla robot” in human form, “he added.
Artificial Intelligence
Elon Musk spoke at an event of his company for its progress in the field of artificial intelligence (TN). Among other things, the purpose of the presentation, which mainly concerned the development of technologies for the creation of fully autonomous cars, was for Tesla to attract new engineers.
Tesla is facing research into the driver assistance technologies it has developed for its vehicles, the Autopilot (Full Pilot) and Full Self Driving programs. They are accused of giving the wrong impression to motorists that their vehicles can move without any intervention from them thanks to the cameras and computers they have, which is not the case. The issue of the inquiries was not raised during the two hours and something that lasted the presentation and the phase of the questions from the public.
The Tesla Bot will have a height of around 1.73 m and will be “friendly”, however “you will be able to escape it by running faster than that”, since it will not be able to travel more than five kilometers per hour, joked Mr. Musk.
The billionaire envisions that his company’s robot will bring a world in which manual labor will no longer be mandatory, but a “choice”.
The man with the second largest fortune in the world according to Forbes magazine has also founded start-ups such as SpaceX, the first private company that managed to launch rockets capable of reaching space, and Neuralink, which specializes in brain implants.
Mr. Musk believes that TN will not have a competitive relationship with human culture and hopes, thanks to Neuralink, that there can be a “symbiotic relationship” between people and technologies.
At the event, in which Mr. Musk presented microprocessors designed by his company for its high-speed computer, which he christened Dojo, he promised that the computer will be operational in 2022.
